Wombat in Anaheim - The Trip Report

Post by BRWombat » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:32 am

Just when you thought you'd had enough of the topic, having been teased for months about the upcoming trip, and tracking me and my family through live updates during the trip... now you get to relive it with me in all it's glorious detail!

The fun begins over at my otherwise neglected blog, The World of Wombat.

As usual, I'll be writing in a sort of "you are there," present-tense format, so you can enjoy it as if you're along for the ride. I'll post some pictures with the entries, and then load the full day's pictures when that day's "reporting" is done.

This trip report should be slightly less detailed than previous ones. For one thing, the last one took about four months to write. I was also busier this time, at least early on with the chorus, and took fewer notes. Hopefully I'll still be able to crank out an enjoyable report.

Enjoy!

Thanks Wombat. Now that I've had my fix I can wait another day for some more. Love reading all the details, and your room sounds perfect.

Having a fun time reading, Wombat :)

I see you were as impressed as I was being near Dick Van Dyke. I actually did speak to him last year at the Komen Walk, to ask him for a photo of him with my friend. He was very nice to agree.

Had to resist singing Mary Poppins songs to him. ;)
